The problem of computing the characters of the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$ over $\C$ was solved a few years ago by V. Serganova. In this article, we present an entirely…

The nonvanishing problem asks if a coefficient of a polynomial is nonzero. Many families of polynomials in algebraic combinatorics admit combinatorial counting rules and simultaneously enjoy having saturated Newton polytopes (SNP). Thereby,…

In recent work, M. Schneider and the first author studied a curious class of integer partitions called "sequentially congruent" partitions: the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part congruent to…

Whether or not the Kronecker coefficients of the symmetric group count some set of combinatorial objects is a longstanding open question. In this work we show that a given Kronecker coefficient is proportional to the rank of a projector…

If $\lambda$ and $\mu$ are two non-empty Young diagrams with the same number of squares, and $\boldsymbol\lambda$ and $\boldsymbol\mu$ are obtained by dividing each square into $d^2$ congruent squares, then the corresponding character value…

The Kronecker coefficients are the decomposition multiplicities of the tensor product of two irreducible representations of the symmetric group. Unlike the Littlewood--Richardson coefficients, which are the analogues for the general linear…

Let $ \chi $ be a character of a complex irreducible representation of a finite group $G$. We present a simple formula for the expectation of the random variable $(|\chi|/\chi(1))^{t} $ in terms of character ratios $…

Let $A$ be a unital associative PI-algebra over a field of characteristic zero. We study which partitions $\lambda$ appear with nonzero multiplicities in the cocharacter sequence of $A$ for several classes of algebras $A$. Berele defines…

Let \chi be an irreducible character of the finite group G. If g is an element of G and \chi(g) is not zero, then we conjecture that the order of g divides |G|/\chi(1). The conjecture is a generalization of the classical fact that…

For $m \geq 1$, let $N \geq 1$ be coprime to $m$, $k \geq 2$, and $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $N$ with $\chi(-1)=(-1)^k$. Then let $T_m^{\text{new}}(N,k,\chi)$ denote the restriction of the $m$-th Hecke operator to the space…

Let $\{\rho_\lambda:G_K\rightarrow GL_n(\overline E_\lambda)\}$ be a semisimple E-rational compatible system of a number field K. In a first step, building upon the theory of pseudocharacters [Ro96],[Ch14], we attach to each $\rho_\lambda$…

The generalized Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the general linear superalgebra are computed explicitly. Using the result we establish a one to one correspondence between the set of…

Just as the definition of factorial Schur functions as a ratio of determinants allows one to show that they satisfy a Jacobi-Trudi-type identity and have an explicit combinatorial realisation in terms of semistandard tableaux, so we offer…

We present a conjecture (and a proof for G=SL(2)) generalizing a result of J. Arthur which expresses a character value of a cuspidal representation of a $p$-adic group as a weighted orbital integral of its matrix coefficient. It also…

We use recent results of Rolen, Zwegers, and the first author to study characters of irreducible (highest weight) modules for the vertex operator algebra $L_{\frak{sl}_\ell}(-\Lambda_0)$. We establish asymptotic behaviors of characters for…

Recently we explained that the classical $Q$ Schur functions stand behind various well-known properties of the cubic Kontsevich model, and the next step is to ask what happens in this approach to the generalized Kontsevich model (GKM) with…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero and let $R=K[X_1, \ldots,X_n ]$, with standard grading. Let $\mathfrak{m}= (X_1, \ldots, X_n)$ and let $E$ be the $^*$injective hull of $R/\mathfrak{m}.$ Let $A_n(K)$ be the $n^{th}$ Weyl algebra…

We propose a new approach to study the Kronecker coefficients by using the Schur-Weyl duality between the symmetric group and the partition algebra. We explain the limiting behavior and associated bounds in the context of the partition…

The permutation matrices form a subgroup of $\text{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ that is isomorphic to the symmetric group $S_n$. Let $r_{\mu\lambda}$ denote the multiplicity of the irreducible representation $V_\mu$ of $S_n$, corresponding to a…

The main purpose of this note is to establish an effective version of the Grunwald--Wang Theorem, which asserts that given a family of local characters $\chi^{v}$ of $K_{v}^{*}$ of exponent $m$ where $v \in S$ for a finite set $S$ of primes…
